What’s Happening at Port of Erie!

PRESS RELEASE – FEBRUARY 27, 2015

The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority is issuing a Public Advisory for Presque Isle Bay and adjacent waters. Beginning on March 2nd, Donjon Shipbuilding & Repair is expecting the arrival of a Canadian ice breaker to begin breaking up a path to the shipyard and turning basin. This work is necessary to accommodate both the departure and movement of vessels and will continue throughout the month of March.

It is expected that the disruption of existing ice conditions will be limited to the eastern portion of Presque Isle Bay/East of Dobbins Landing. (This area should be avoided at all times.) However, the public should be advised that all portions of the Bay could be impacted by this work. Extreme caution should be used at all times when accessing the Bay for any and all recreational purposes.
